Be Nice
When Choosing Your Bridesmaids Dresses!
By Eo Lim
You have
chosen your dream dress, you and your future husband have
decided on the wedding party and the bridesmaids are anxious to
see what their dresses are going to look like. When choosing
your bridesmaid dresses, don’t forget to keep their emotions and
tastes in mind!
Remember
that although this is your big day, your bridesmaids have
decided to share in your joy and help you make lasting memories.
And one of the biggest ways that you can include them in the
merriment is to ask them to help you with the decision. In other
words, in addition to your own ideas, find out what their likes
and dislikes are. After all, if they’re not happy with your
choice and they feel uncomfortable, it will show in your wedding
photos.
Compliment
your bridesmaids’ figures, hair color and complexions when
choosing their dresses. You can still be the center of attention
while allowing your wedding party to glow and shine behind you.
Be sure to have your bridesmaids try on several styles and
colors and let them choose one or two of their favorites to help
you make your decision.
As
important as comfort is for you, it is just as important for
your girls. So, when choosing the bridesmaids dresses, look for
comfort in the fit and the style. If you are a courteous bride,
thinking of their needs while tending to your own, it will be
appreciated by your wedding party and they will be more willing
to help you.
If you’ve
ever been bridesmaid yourself, then you likely understand how
important it is to consider cost when choosing the bridesmaid
dresses. While you may be working on a wedding budget, keep in
mind that your wedding party also may be hoping for affordable
attire. Talk to your bridesmaids and ask them how much they are
willing to spend.
Be sure
while choosing bridesmaids dresses you record everything in a
notebook so that you won’t forget or lose the valuable
information. Through the chaos of planning the rest of the
wedding, it could be all too easy to forget sizes, styles,
alteration decisions, and how much is owed on the dresses.
Keeping everything in a notebook will help you stay organized
and feel less stress.
After the
bridesmaids dresses have been decided on, don’t forget to ask
about fittings. Find out how many fitting will be needed for
each girl and exactly what the cost is for each one of them.
Write down times and dates to help your wedding party remember
and if possible, let the bridesmaids schedule the appointments
themselves to ensure it is a good time for them.
Now you
have chosen the bridesmaids dresses, they are happy about the
color, style and fit. Don’t forget the shoes! Remember to tell
your bridesmaids whether they are to wear flats or pumps. And if
you want them dyed to match the dresses, let them know and give
them time to prepare. As long as you use respect and common
courtesy, you will most likely have a happy wedding party thus
giving you a beautiful, happy day to remember.
